Runners: Bad Goods

(Serve Man, 2004–2005)

On the run from police, pirates, and bounty hunters, The Runners are a loosely organized group of diverse aliens who operate in an unregulated sector of the universe known as Roguespace. Their missions are not always completely legal, but as smugglers that is to be expected. Roca Nostaco and his crew of bootleggers may argue and bicker but their loyalty to one another is never in doubt.

Artist/writer Sean Wang (The Tick and Arthur) has captured a sense of non–stop excitement and coupled it with sleek, crisp depictions of futuristic architecture and spaceships. The frenetic pace is punctuated with humor and is evocative of the first Star Wars movie whose cantina scene on Mos Eisley seems to have been a significant influence in character design.
